Memorial Day – 2025

PART 1

“Greater love hath no man than this,

that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

(Jesus Christ)

“… we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Abraham Lincoln – November 19, 1863

For the past 135 years, Memorial Day has been celebrated as a national holiday- a day for remembering the sacrifices of all those members of our armed forces who died fighting for our nation’s freedom.

In honor of the 646,596 men and women since 1776, who gave their lives to keep the United States of America safe and free, the Nevada Globe staff offers this 2-part Memorial Day tribute.
